Amen! He is faithful and he knows the desires of your heart He will reward you for your continued faithfullness and honor you with a child, its just so hard when we want it now and he wants it but in his time. Hugs to you.. Know that you are a woman of God and he uses you everyday to share him with all of us...:)

it's definitely not easy! and with all of the reconnecting happening like facebook etc...it's only a matter of time before I get asked: any kids? *sigh* i just say, no or not yet...they don't mean to be thoughtless. they just don't know. sending you a big hug, keep the faith.

You are right...IF is not easy...but it's something some of us have to live with and make the best out of the situation. God is faithful and he has his reasons for our suffering and pain. But that still does not make IF easy...your words touched me today. Blessings

Hang in there Stacey! I was going to post something along these same lines...I got a baby registry book in the mail today from target- talk about knife in the heart. One day, you and the hubby will have a beautiful baby in your arms and it will be all worth it.

It is definitely not easy. I admire you so much for not taking the easy way and continuing to buy those baby gifts, attend baby showers, and keep in touch with old friends. You inspire me. Sometimes I take the easy way and isolate myself so that I don't have to face those situations. For me this is not so much with old friends as I have mostly lost touch with them (not because of IF - we just were living very different lifestyles), but by not reaching out to new friends.

Our Journey

My Longing Fulfilled

About Me

I’m 38 years old and I’ve been happily married to my husband (known on this blog as "Chuck") since 1998. I was born and raised in my dear home state of Louisiana and have lived in Texas since 2001, the year we started trying to have a baby.
This blog is about what my life has been like living with infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss for nearly a decade. My faith has played a big part in helping me get through six first-trimester miscarriages. Our seventh pregnancy finally brought us our miracle girl in September 2010. Our second precious gift, another daughter, arrived in November 2012.
